Although centrally located, the hotel offers a quiet retreat, allowing guests to enjoy a peaceful stay within walking distance of the bustling city life.
The building itself impresses with its historical and architectural significance, housed in a beautifully adapted old monastery that perfectly blends existing structures with modern design. The hotel's close proximity to key sites such as the Meuse River, central squares, shopping streets and the famous Vrijthof square ensures that everything Maastricht has to offer is easily accessible.

Whether visiting for a weekend getaway or a longer city trip, Kruisherenhotel Maastricht stands out not just for its stunning and atmospheric decor, but also for its top-notch location, making it an exceptional choice for travelers looking to immerse themselves in the heart of this charming city.
Breakfast
Kruisherenhotel Maastricht offers a breakfast experience that frequently garners praise for its delicious offerings and unique setting. Many guests rave about the extensive and high-quality buffet, highlighting the freshness and variety of the food. The visual appeal of the breakfast area, set on the mezzanine floor of the historic nave, adds to the overall experience, making it a memorable part of the stay. Friendly and attentive service further enhances this positive impression.
However, some guests find the breakfast options somewhat limited and not quite fitting for a 5-star hotel, given the high price. Criticisms often include the additional charges for items like eggs and pancakes and the overall cost, which some feel is not justified by the spread. The ambience, while impressive, is sometimes noted to be narrow and cramped. There are also occasional mentions of service hiccups, such as mixed-up orders and long wait times.
Despite these varied opinions, many guests still find the breakfast at Kruisherenhotel a high point of their visit with many describing it as very good to exceptional. For those who value a unique and extensive breakfast setting, this hotel does deliver, albeit at a premium price.
Dinner
The Kruisherenhotel Maastricht's restaurant offerings have drawn mixed but generally favorable responses from guests. Highlights include gourmet dinners featuring delicious food and excellent wine pairings with some patrons specifically praising the unique and off-the-charts dishes at the in-house restaurant, Spencers. Many guests found the dinner exceptional and enjoyed the passionate and attentive service. However, others noted that the restaurant's fixed menu with no choice, high prices and limited options did not meet their expectations. There were remarks on waiting times between courses and occasional service disruptions, such as no available dining option or the restaurant being closed.
Breakfasts and bar snacks received positive feedback for their quality, although the buffet setup in a narrow corridor and issues with freshness of certain items were seen as drawbacks. Despite these inconsistencies, the overall dining experience at Kruisherenhotel Maastricht is recommended, particularly for those who appreciate gourmet cuisine and excellent service. There is, however, room for improvement to fully align with the hotel's five-star standing.
Rooms
Kruisherenhotel Maastricht - Oostwegel Collection, a member of Design Hotels, presents a unique blend of historical charm and modern design within a former monastery. The hotel boasts tastefully decorated rooms that are often described as spacious, beautifully renovated and sparkling clean. Many appreciate the comfort, thoughtful layout and quality furniture, adding to the overall pleasant stay.
However, the accommodations vary significantly with some rooms on the top floors being notably small and difficult to access due to steep staircases. Guests staying in these smaller attic rooms have highlighted issues such as lack of windows, air conditioning and sometimes impractical layout. On the other hand, rooms located in the former porter's lodge and cloister offer more space and are well-equipped with modern amenities, although some also note that the overall décor feels a bit dated and could use refreshing.
Temperature control in the rooms appears to be a common concern with several guests finding it too warm or too cold at times. Noise levels have also been mentioned, especially for rooms near the kitchen or street, affecting the overall comfort. Despite these issues, many guests were pleased with the cleanliness and unique design details integrated into the room's architecture.
Overall, while the accommodation offers a memorable stay with its historic ambiance and modern comforts, the experience can vary depending on the specific room assigned.

However, there are mixed reviews regarding the firmness of the mattresses. Some guests find them to be too hard or too soft with particular mentions of hard mattresses and those that are too soft and thin. The positioning of the beds and the space around them have been points of contention with some guests noting inconvenient placements and limited space. While the bedding gets positive remarks overall, there are occasional comments about beds being poorly made and findings like old socks in the room which hint at inconsistent housekeeping.
